If I were a rich evil artist, I think I would create a 10x10x10 meter cube of stacked meat in some sunny desert location, and put various webcams and video cameras to chronicle the results as the days and months passed.
Mhm. But who will let them out once all the meat is gone? Then so too will go the tiny organisms, unless they are released into the local environment and allowed to proliferate. Perhaps you could, being an evil artist, set up web cams in ever-widening circles from the cube, and show the plague that you have released upon an unsuspecting population. Because really, the only people who would know much about your art would be the fanatics and all of the LJ geeks (like ourselves) who would use it as commentary in metaquotes and fandom_wank or some such.
I'm hungry, and now I'm definitely not having anything with animal flesh in it tonight. Thank you.
I'm certain it would make international news, including Time, and would be one of the most popular sites on the web for a while. I could make millions!
Yes you could. People would either love you, ridicule you, or just stare blankly. What I mean is, that most people who would actually watch it for the length of its cycle probably wouldn't be the mass population. Therefore, you could continue the project from breeding nasty little organisms, to then releasing them, without people realizing what you were about. Perhaps let them believe that there would be a sterilization of the room at some point, and then release the critters the night before. Bwa-ha-ha and all that. *grins*
ya know, Andy Goldsworthy (http://images.google.com/images?q=andy+goldsworthy&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&biw=1280&tab=ii&oi=imagest) has done some similar work. Not with meat, but with car-sized snowballs full of weird detritus, left in downtown London to melt whilst being recorded.
Putting it in a desert adds an interesting twist--the meat will presumably be drying on the outside while it's rotting on the inside.
Culloden could be right, unless you choose your desert carefully. Your project might be repidly destroyed by scavengers--though I suppose that if it's all broadcast/recorded, it's still art.
I agree that webcams all around would be good. Would it spoil the beauty of the concept to have internal cams and lighting?

I would also suggest flyovers. Helicopter tours.
